To help HDL Design Engineers to cost effectively accelerate, emulate and validate their VHDL/Verilog designs,VDesign manufactures the high performance ASIC Prototyping Boards.

VRAP-UCB ( Vdesign Rapid Asic Prototype-Universal Chip Board )
VRAP-AEB ( Vdesign Rapid Asic Prototype-Acceleration Emulation Board )
Cascade  ( Multiset of VRAP-AEB/VRAP-UCB )
SimuTAG ( Simulator through JTAG )

The VRAP family boards from VDesign includes a re-programmable board (daughter board), a system software with utility programs that could be used for ASIC Prototyping,FPGA validation, co-simulation of software-hardware, IP Net list validation, SOC and regression tests.

Traditional Approach

Generally HDL Engineers mix VHDL/Verilog RTL code and gate level structure in the same design. Unfortunately the global simulation by the software is relatively slow.

VRAP Advantage

Use of VRAP family board allows design engineers to run VHDL/Verilog RTL and structural code in the same design with structural simulation speed more than 1000 times faster than a structural software simulation. The architecture at the gate level fixed with VRAP family board contains upto 18 million to 288 million FPGA gates. The RTL architecture is simulated by an in built software.

Design Flow

The design flow for the usage of VRAP family boards remain uniform. Be it the VRAP-AEB or the VRAP-UCB, design engineers find it very user friendly for their applications

Methodology

However complex your activities be, VRAP family boards would prove to be the right solution for all your acceleration, emulation and validation needs. The methodology for using VRAP family boards is unique and simple.

Performance Appraisal

VRAP family boards are so unique that it excels many other competitive boards. Leading market names are now just watching to know the further advancements happening at VDesign to help HDL design engineers.

Utility Software

The VRAP family boards come with an in built utility software. This utility software aimed for use and application by HDL design engineers is user friendly with the speciality of easy to use, easy to learn and easy to understand. More over the utility software provided is flexible to PC or workstation/Solaris.

Warranty - Support - Maintenance

The VRAP family boards from the house of VDesign has had its birth after a result of consistent attempts made on research and development in the concerned field of specialization by a team of experts. Developed as a plug and play device, the VRAP family boards come with a one year warranty. Software based problems on VRAP boards are fixed by email:contact@vdesignpl.com . Board replacement (if ever required within the warranty period) is provided free of cost within 7 days, in case of VRAP hardware problems. Further VDesign support team is readily available through the 7 hour hotline.

VDesign also undertakes maintenance of VRAP family boards at the customer application centre. To this you may get in touch with our support staff through email:contact@vdesignpl.com .VRAP software updating is free regarding your simulator version.
